The design of the time-of-flight system for MICE [PDF]
The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will carry out a systematic investigation of ionization cooling of a muon beam. As the emittance measurement will be done on a particle-by-particle basis, a sophisticated beam instrumentation is needed to measure particle coordinates and timing vs RF.

The individuality of mice [PDF]
Mutant mice simulating human CNS disorders are used as models for therapeutic drug development. Drug evaluation requires a coherent correlation between behavioral phenotype and drug status. Variations in behavioral responses could mask such correlations, a problem highlighted by the three‐site studies ofCrabbeet al. (1999) andWahlstenet al.
